issue of attorneys' fees and costs is specifically addressed in Paragraph 7, Attorneys'

be construed to be an admission of liability or fault by any party. Additionally, as a

of this Settlement Agreement are not intended to be used by any other person nor be
admissible in any proceeding or case against or involving Jeffrey Epstein, either civil or
criminal.
First and Second Parties
stipulate and agree that this Settlement
Agreement should not in any way be construed as an admission by Jeffrey Epstein that
he violated any federal statute that constitutes a predicate for a damage claim under 18
U.S.C. § 2255 or an admission that he violated any other federal or state statute.
2.

Agreement has been fully executed.

EFTA00729902
(b) to the extent required by law or rule; (c) to the extent necessary in connection with

Agreement to any third party, except to the extent required by law or rule or in response
to a validly issued subpoena from a governmental or regulatory agency.

neither this Settlement Agreement, nor any copy hereof, nor the terms hereof, shall be
used or disclosed in any court, arbitration, or other legal proceedings, except to enforce
the provisions of this Settlement Agreement. If any of the Parties are served with a
valid subpoena, court order, government agency order or subpoena, or other
compulsory legal process, pursuant to which disclosure of this Settlement Agreement,
the settlement amount, or other terms hereof is requested, or production of the
Settlement Agreement is requested, the Party so served shall give counsel for the other
Party notice thereof within five (5) days of such service and, prior to making any such

EFTA00729904
third party) agree that the courts of the 15th Judicial Circuit of Palm Beach County shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over the subject matter and shall have personal jurisdiction
over the Parties (and third parties). In the event of an enforcement matter, the First
Parties (and any third party family member) agree that Robert Josefsberg or Katherine
Ezell is authorized to accept service for them, and Robert D. Critton, Jr. is authorized to
accept service for Jeffrey Epstein.
First and Second Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, If either First or
Second Parties allege that a breach of the confidentiality provision has occurred, or if
First Parties allege that a breach of the anonymity or no contact provision has occurred,
the aggrieved First or Second Parties may seek an appropriate remedy in court. If the
court finds a breach of the confidentiality, anonymity, or no contact provision set forth
above, the court shall determine the amount of the award. Equitable remedies are not
relinquished by virtue of this provision; nor does either Party relinquish the right to
pursue any other legal or equitable damages to which (s)he may be entitled as a result
of the other Party's breach, including, but not limited to, prevailing party costs, to include
attorneys' fees.
